How Solar Panels Work
Sunlight Hits the Solar Panels
When sunlight reaches the solar panels, tiny energy particles called photons are absorbed by the solar cells. This process excites the cells and releases electrons — the foundation of solar energy generation.
Energy Converts to Direct Current (DC)
As electrons move through the photovoltaic (PV) cells, they generate direct current (DC) electricity. This type of current flows in one direction and begins your solar system’s energy conversion process.
The Inverter Converts DC to AC Power
The DC electricity then travels to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) — the standard type of electricity used to power lights, appliances, and devices in your home or business.
Clean Energy Powers Your Home
Once converted, the AC power flows through your electrical panel and into your property’s wiring. From your refrigerator to your laptop, everything you use is now powered by clean, renewable solar energy.
